    Microsoft 640 vs 950 Screen/Touch

    I had a Lumia 1520. The screen was very responsive. I broke it and decided to replace it with a 640 as I didn't want to spend the money on an aging phone. The screen on the 640 is nowhere near as responsive as the 1520, however, the 1520 is a lot more money.

    Your ******/fangirl -ism level?

    No one pays me to use a phone. I use WP because I like it best. Hardcore Office user, my number one app is OneNote. This is why I use WP. If some other company could provide me with a better Office/OS experience I would switch.

    BlackBerry to WP8

    Welcome to Windows Phone, I can understand your love for BB10, it reminds me a lot of WebOS I may pick up a Q10 as a business phone, I would live to have a keyboard again. The keyboard/touchscreen combo was really nice on WebOS However, I have an HTC 8X as my primary phone and I love the...

    Should I make the jump?

    I would have to second this. I have an 8X, It's a great phone. Best phone I ever had AND I like the fit/finish better than the 920. Having said that Nokia is very proactive in securing the latest and best apps. As an example, I'm not an Instagram user, but today there has been a lot of buzz that...

    Will you jump ship?

    Not moving, I have 2 desktops, a laptop, a tablet and a Phone all running Windows 8 and all running the latest version of Office, the application I use most (mostly OneNote nowadays). With SkyDrive I have all my documents with me and up to date. This is what I have always wanted, not going to...

    Anyone else getting annoyed that apps come out as "Lumia" exclusives?

    Not sure if this has been brought up yet, but I would rather companies have exclusive apps than to skin the phone the way they do on android. If we want phone companies to make phones for our OS of choice they are going to want to have the ability to offer something different from the...

    Would anyone here dump their WP8 device for a true Windows 8 phone?

    I have an Atom based tablet running Windows 8, it has a 10.1" screen. If it were 9.1" I would say desktop mode would be unusable. Because of this I think there would be no use for such a device. Unless, It was a phone running in startup only, like an RT device. I think that would have been a...

    would you recommend buying a 920 after owning one yourself?

    I'm with Tmo so I can't speak to the 920 as I have the 8X. But I am loving WP8 and my 8X. Other than a few restarts its been a great phone.

    Nokia Lumia 822 auto powering off--WOULD NEVER BUY AGAIN!!!!!

    One thing I would like to add about refurbs is that they are often the only devices checked out by a tech. Phones come off an assembly line, like everything else, they are given the once over, boxed and shipped. When a device is sent back for a problem a tech will troubleshoot the device and put...

    Windows Phone & Ipad

    Windows Phone & Ipad

    I'm looking at a compromise between the surface RT and the Pro. The Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2. It has the new Atom processor and seems to fit nicely between the two MS offerings in both price and spec. A few different companies are coming out with this same hardware spec like Dell and HP. Rather...

    Ex Nokia CEO not a fan of Elop

    I posted this comment on his site first "Great article now we can see that he wrote the Burning Platform memo shortly after lighting the platform on fire. I cannot understand why Nokia would need to abandon Symbian / Meego to add a Windows and/or Android Phone to their stable of handsets. They...

    T-Mobile Most Likely To Have 820

    Nice catch, there's still hope. I'm with T-mobile as well and am looking at either the Sammy or the 820(if they get it) I've decided I want a phone with a removable battery. The battery on my HD7 will not fully charge and I've had it less than 2 years. I'm not about to spend 30+ on a battery for...

    Should Microsoft sue RIM. stolen features

    Problem with the whole law suit thing is that it's no sure bet. You can lose and it's very expensive and it's bad for MS' image. Better yet, work with BB, maybe bring Bing, or Office functions. Better to try to make money than pay a bunch of lawyers. t may have some functionality, but It looks...

    Dual Core Optimization?

    YAY!!! someone else is bringing this up. I keep hearing people who want more cores but your right, software needs to be written for them. I would think they are most beneficial for multi tasking anyway. My bigger concern with more cores is battery life. According to the specs for the 920 and the...

    Is anyone else supremely disappointed in T-Mobile service?

    I live in a phone dead zone, all carriers. I can't get more than 1 bar with any of them. But Tmo works good for me once I get away from my house. I live just outside Los Angeles.

    I hate my 710, I want a new phone :(

    I'm very happy with my NO_IA 710. The screen is smaller than I would like but its a much better screen than my HD7 has. Looks sharper and can be read easily in daylight (easy meaning that its better than any other smart phone I've seen). I find it responsive as well, beats my HD7. And having...

    Windows Phone 8X by HTC

    I think Nokia has the best offering, but I do like this phone. If Tmo doesn't carry the 920, I would be very happy with the 8X. As for specs, other than the 2.1 BT (will not affect me) and 16mg (still haven't used up the 8mg in my Nokia 710), this really looks like a flagship phone to me. Also...
